Let’s Talk Cryptocurrencies – Week 27

Let’s Talk Cryptocurrencies is BullMarketz weekly update of everything that’s happened on the cryptocurrency market in the past week. We cover all the ups and downs and provide you with all the information you need to make well-informed decisions about your investments in digital currencies. This summary is not excluded to the major currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum but includes all digital currencies.

It’s been a week of controversies on the cryptocurrency market because according to the trading report from the month of June, the interest for cryptocurrencies is sinking while the total market cap is increasing. We can also report that over 1000 cryptocurrency projects have been declared dead, one of the most anticipated cryptocurrencies is finally officially live, and one of the largest assets on the market just reached a new low. Without further ado, let’s cover this week’s most important developments.

eToro has added support for Cardano (ADA). We’ve already reported on this story a few times but it’s worth mentioning again. eToro is currently working hard to take over as the leading CFD broker in cryptocurrencies and adding support to more cryptocurrencies is the first step. The second step is launching their own exchange which is being developed as we speak.

Bitcoin started surging last week and pulled the rest of the market with it. After falling below $6,000 on Thursday the asset turned and on Friday and BTC initiated an impressive bull run. In total, Bitcoin increased with close to 10 percent from $5,850 to $6,440 in less than 12 hours. The bull run pulled the rest of the market with it and most of the top 100 cryptocurrencies experienced similar gains. By now it looks like Bitcoin found support at around $6,000 and were hoping to see it increase further.

According to a TechCrunch report, over 1000 cryptocurrency projects have been declared dead. The data was extracted from several sources and proves just how unreliable the ICO market really is. So far, ICOs have accumulated over $13 billion in 2018 alone which is more than twice as much as during 2017, although many of the projects have already failed. Among the list of the 1000 dead projects, we found Bitconnect which is the largest Ponzi scheme in the industry.

The total trading volume for the month of June is considerably lower than in May. According to trading data from all the cryptocurrencies, the trading volume has dropped between 17 and 57 percent from the previous month. If it turns out that Bitcoin has found support we can expect the volume to increase again and we hope that the total trading volume in July will increase.

VeChain is officially live after $1.5 billion investment. This cryptocurrency is run on a blockchain that aims to help businesses verify the authenticity of their products by tracking them from production until they are sold in a store. The VeChain blockchain was founded by a former CIO of Louis Vuitton and it’s one of the most anticipated projects on the market since it actually offers a really useful purpose. In total, VeChain has received over $1,5 billion in investments and the other day the blockchain was officially live for the first time ever.

XRP has hit a new 2018 low, despite the fact that Bitcoin is surging. On Friday, XRP dropped below $0.42 which is the lowest price recorded for the third largest cryptocurrency based on market cap since December 2017. XRP has recovered a bit since but is still trading under $.50.
